Really have never been that into the whole EMAW/EPAW debate - tend to like the idea that the acronym is more about a sentiment than tradition, but it just has never really mattered that much to me.
What does matter to me is Beth - the fact that she has been and will continue to be arguably the most significant combination of intelligence, university representation, and K-State Pride the university has produced in the last decades. I went to high school with Beth, and have known her for many years now, and it makes me really angry to see people rant against her without taking the time to even consider her opinion.
Yeah, I don't agree with her on many things, but when a dumbass like Fitz - a very public face of the university - represents himself and the rest of our fanbase so poorly, I tend to believe he's doing much more damage than "It's Patterson!"-ing us again.
Think about it: Beth is was extraordinarily accomplished in her K-State career, is now getting an advanced degree from a prestigious university, and will probably do more in her life to advance the reputation of K-State than any #saveEMAW-er will ever even come close to touching. I don't care what your views are on the issue. Respect her and respect yourself by taking a second to at least consider what it is you're standing behind.
